MARGAO: The Konkan Railway police on Sunday seized 488 helmets which were brought to the state on Goa Sampark Kranti Express for being sold illegally. The helmets didn't bear the mandatory ISI mark and had been transported by railway without proper billing, police sources said.

PSI Dattaguru Sawant of the Konkan Railway police said that a decoy customer, who was sent to inquire about the helmets on platform 3 of the Margao railway station, confirmed that the headgears were meant for sale. The Konkan Railway police then swung into action and seized the helmets, all worth 1.95 lakh, Sawant said.

Samsher Alam and Mohammed Ibrahim, both residents of Azadnagar, Margao, were arrested .
